As per the comment I posted in Flickr... I managed to pull out of that parking spot without making contact with the two cars around me. To get an idea on how much room I had, the round white object in the left photograph is the lid of a McDonald's soft drink cup. I probably had about a foot in front and maybe 4 inches in the back.
Years ago I managed to deftly steer a dragon boat into its berth at a local marina. It involved approaching the back tip of the berth almost head on and then stalling the port side of the boat in order to turn it so that the starboard side came to rest against the dock. I pulled that trick off and one guy in the boat turned to me and said "I bet you don't have any problems parallel parking".
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.

Wow... Now that takes a lot of skill, D!
It's funny that I decided to document my predicament rather than just drive off. I was initially very annoyed but after taking the photographs I felt a bit more calm. I envisioned myself printing off the photographs and slapping them on the windscreens of the offending parties the next time I saw them but decided they weren't worth the effort in doing that.
Man that is one heck of a tight space.
I had that happen to me one time. I used my "park-by-braille" skills.
